Chapter 346
Ashiya City, Rokurosocho Town, only a twenty-minute drive from Kobe City, is known as the "Beverly Hills in Japan", and the Morino family's mansion is located here.
Hiroshi Chihara opened the curtains, the streets outside were clean and tidy, the residences were all low-rise villas, all kinds of living facilities were available, and the buildings and green scenery were arranged in an orderly manner.
"It's my dream to own a house here!" The Lihua Congressman next to him sighed, his tone of envy.
Hiroshi Chihara turned around, looked at the other party, and asked:
"As a member of Hyogo Prefecture, can't he do this?"
The salary of Japanese civil servants is not low, not to mention that they are county councillors, and all kinds of invisible income will never be small.
Just now, when the two sides were discussing the Morino family, they chatted for a while, and the other party didn't look like someone who would be wronged.
Member Lihua smiled and shook his head:
"This place is not much like other places. Even if it is placed in the entire Japan, there are several rich areas. People like me are just ordinary people here, so how can I afford the house here?"
Hiroshi Chihara then realized:
It seems that the Morino family is not only a political family, but the means of gathering wealth is also not low. However, in Japan, "power" and "power" are not separated.
Ten minutes later, the car started to slow down.
Lehwa Councillor pulled up the curtains and reminded:
"Teacher Chihara, it's coming soon!"
Chihara Hiroshi paused, nodded, and sat upright in his seat.
The Morino family is a traditional Japanese building, surrounded by stone walls that are half a person on the outside, and the scenery inside cannot be seen.
However, from the outside, the building's area will never be small. Even when housing prices are halved, housing prices in such rich areas will never fall much. It seems that they start at least 400 million yen.
Member of Lihua said in a low voice:
"The Morino family moved here ten years ago. They still have an old house in Kobe, but now they live in Yasuki Morino's eldest son and family."
The car stopped slowly.
The driver in front said:
"The MP, has arrived."
As soon as the words were finished, the Morino family had already come out to greet the people, and came to the front of the car doors and opened the two rear doors respectively.
Hiroshi Chihara got off the car and said "thank you".
There were six people who were greeted, four men and two women, all wearing standard clothes.
The two people who opened the door for them then returned to their previous position and stood with their hands down.
The person in front said:
"Two guests, the head of the family is waiting for two in the tea room, please follow me."
Listening to this ancient Kansai accent and the traditional costumes of these six people, Chihara Hiroshi almost thought he had traveled to the Edo period in Japan.
Member Lihua saw his uncomfortable little movements and whispered:
"Some big families in Kansai are like this, just get used to it."
The two followed them into the mansion. Along the way, there were stone lanterns, ancient trees, and strange rocks. The various landscapes seemed to be disordered, but they followed a kind of order. They looked very artistic, and they were obviously carefully taken care of.
Member of Lihua couldn't help but exclaim:
"I'm afraid the Emperor's residence is just like this."
The person leading the way in front said with a smile:
"The scenery here was arranged by the owner of the family."
"I see……"
After passing through a square ring corridor, my eyes suddenly became clear:
In the half-open tea room, an old man was cooking tea, and a girl sat next to her.
Outside the corridor is a small courtyard with a bamboo tube. After filling it with water, the water inside will be poured out, repeating itself, making a sound of falling to the ground at intervals.
This is an installation called Jinglu, also known as ‘Edo Fengliu’, which is not uncommon in large houses in Japan.
Well, the Zen scenery... Chihara Hiroshi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Hearing the movement, the calm girl in kimono suddenly stood up, showed joy, and shouted:
"Master, come and save me!"
Qianyuan Hiroshi, who was immersed in Zen a second ago, was defeated by the sound of "Master":
Sure enough, if the other party lacks this mouth, it will be more in line with this scenery.
The old man said sternly:
"Rino, sit down!"
Suddenly, Rino Morino sat down with his head as if a balloon had been pierced.
The two walked into the tea room.
The old man put down the tea set in his hand, waved his hand, and the waiter who brought them over retreated silently.
He first looked at the Councillor Lihua and greeted:
"Mr. Lihua, long time no see."
Member of Congressman Lihua quickly returned the gift. The old man in front of him was a big shot who had been a chief cabinet minister. Even though he had retired, his connections in politics should not be underestimated.
The old man looked at Qianyuan again, looked at him for a while before saying:
"Mr. Chihara, I am Reno's grandfather, Yasuki Morino."
Chihara Hiroshi stretched out his hand and said:
"Hello, I'm Hiroshi Chihara. I'm the first time I met, please take care of me."
However, as if he had not seen his hand stretching out, Yasuo Morino turned toward Lehua and talked to him about the content of the recent news broadcast.
This was deliberately neglected... Qianhara Hiroshi took back his hand. Although he said he didn't care, he still cared a little.
Seeing that the chat between the two people would not end for a while, his eyes were turned to the bamboo tube outside, and he silently counted the seconds of "Shocking Deer".
On the other side, Rino Morino saw that his master was treated like this, plucked up the courage and reminded the old man around him:
"Grandfather, this is my master!"
Taizuki Morino looked at her lightly, but Rino Morino muttered again, "This is my master" and then completely silent.
The master and apprentice looked at each other speechlessly.
At this time, the sound of water boiling came from the teapot on the stove.
Yasuki Morino took out four cups, washed them with clean water, and then washed them with hot water before setting them in a row, lifting the teapot, filtering them several times, and finally pouring the tea soup into the four cups.
He placed four cups on the table in front of the four people, then looked at Qianyuan again and said:
"Mr. Chihara, your purpose for this time is Reno?"
Reno Morino secretly raised his head.
Hiroshi Chihara felt sorry for:
‘It’s not because of my unlucky apprentice, who would like to deal with you…’
The pressure the other party gave him was something he had never felt before, especially his eyes, as if he could see the secret deep in his heart.
"Yes, she has missed classes for many days, and I hope she can come back as soon as possible."
Yasuki Morino picked up the cup, blew it a few times, took a sip, and then said slowly:
"What Mr. Chihara said about absenteeism should refer to Go, right?"
Hiroshi Chihara nodded.
The other party continued:
"If it's for this matter, please come back. Reno is not suitable for Go. I have signed her up for the school here and will be able to go to school soon."
Before Chihara Hiroshi could react, Morino Rino, who was standing beside him, widened his eyes and said:
Chapter completed!
